You are misinterpreting me and claiming that I don't get you while it's
you who doesn't get me.
I do *not* find it absurd that people want to have a consumer choice,
and I do *not* find the concepts of individuality and uniqueness absurd
in themselves. I find it absurd to associate one with the other.
